Page 78 of Queen Of Clubs

“Patience, my sweet, sexy, rock star alpha. Good things come to those who wait.” She winks before turning around and heading down the street. I pause for a moment, dropping my eyes to her sexy, tight ass and groan before running after her like the little puppy I am for her.

I’M MESMERIZED BY THE way Jade is licking the ice cream off her spoon. She’s telling me a story about one of her friends from the club, but I have no idea what she’s saying because all I can think about is how I wish that spoon was my cock.

“Griffin,” Jade says my name, thick with amusement.

“Sorry, what?” I ask, blinking up at her.

“You have no idea what I was just saying, do you?”

“Nope.” I grin unashamedly.

“I’m eating ice cream. What on earth could your dirty mind make up with that?” she challenges, raising a brow.

Oh, sweet Jelly Bean. You opened yourself up for this one. “I was wondering how it would feel to have your tongue licking my cock like it was an ice cream cone. Would you make those same sounds of pleasure as you were just now?”

My gaze darkens as her pupils dilate, shifting in her chair. “And now I’m thinking about what it would feel like if I licked that sweet, slicked-up pussy like it was my ice cream cone. I know you, for sure, you would taste a hell of a lot better. I much rather prefer me some peaches and cream.”

“Griffin.” I think she meant for my name to sound like a warning, but it comes out as a whimper.

“Yes, little omega?” I growl low, leaning closer.

She shakes her head, seeming to remember where we are. “We’re supposed to behave.”

“But being bad is so much more fun.” I give her a mischievous grin.

“Yes, but not so fun when it ends up all over the news?”

I sigh, she’s right. “About that. I wanted to ask... are you okay with it getting out that you're our omega? I know you haven't said anything officially, and no one's rushing you, of course. But the tabloids will catch on eventually when they see you with us all the time; they’ll take that story and run with it.”

“I’m not going to hide, Griffin. Unless you have an issue with the world knowing?” I hate the hesitation she has while saying it.

“If it wasn’t overkill, I’d go on live TV and tell the whole world how fucking amazing my omega is and that they can all suck it because they will never find one as incredible as you.”

She grins while shaking her head, her cheeks blushing slightly. “You're too much.”

“And you love it. Always have.”

“And always will,” she confirms softly.

“This is what I missed, Jelly Bean,” I sigh, wishing I was sitting next to her, not across from her. “I think my favorite part about you being ours is that the familiarity and friendship is still there.”

Her eyes glass over and she nods. “Me too,” she whispers.

Jade and the guys have been my family since day one. We all just clicked, forming a little pack of misfits.

My parents died in a car crash when I was a baby, and my grandparents ended up raising me. They were amazing people, but they were older. They had my mom later in life, so they passed when I was around ten. I didn’t have any other family who wanted to take me in.

Honestly, from the stories I’d heard about my aunt and uncle, I think they would have been worse than the foster homes I’d been in. My dad didn’t have any siblings and his parents passed before I was born. So, I had no one and was put into foster care. I bounced around a few homes before ending up at Karen and Charles’ home.

I would say they were the worst of the five I’ve been in. But it gave me my favorite people, so I stayed.

What they don’t know, and I never plan on telling them, was that my social worker gave me an out. After about a year in that house, she asked me how things were going and said if it wasn’t good, she would place me in a new home until she found me the right one.

I lied, told her it was fine because I’d much rather deal with Karen and Charles’ crap than lose the guys and Jade.

They will always be my family, my life, and my everything. I’m not proud of turning to drugs when I lost Jade, and I know it wasn’t fair to the guys to see me in that state, but I lost a piece of me when we left. With the stress of our lives, it was the only thing that kept me going when I was at my lowest.

Something I also won't ever tell any of them was that when I was high, I’d see her. Yes, I know I was hallucinating, but it was better than nothing. As fucked up as that was, I took what I could get.
